Given this information, it should perhaps come as no surprise to see Peppy Hare feature in Steel Diver: Sub Wars:

This could be an innocent cameo, but it has predictably led some fans to hypothoise that Steel Diver: Sub Wars takes place in the same fictional universe as the Star Fox series. That could be seen as some pretty wild speculation, but how else does one explain the presence of a talking rabbit? Share your own thoughts on this with a comment below.

Damien has over a decade of professional writing experience under his belt, as well as a repulsively hairy belly. Rumours that he turned down a role in The Hobbit to work on Nintendo Life are, to the best of our knowledge, completely and utterly unfounded.

I bought the game this morning along with the 5 submarines.
I'm pretty satisfied with it. You really feel like inside of a submarine doing some matter to keep yourself from being seen until the last second !

@TwoTheNines Well, you only have access to two subs in free mode. 2 more are directly unlocked through premium, all others are unlocked through your player level.The same goes for crewmembers i believe.

@Topic I dont think that it is set in the same universe. The lylat system is almost entirely inhabitat by anthropomorphic animals. On the other hand, F-Zero is set in the same universe, and thats pretty much set in stone since the vehicles use the same G-Defuser system that was used in the Lylat Wars.Lets just say it is set in the nintendo universe. And each franchise takes part in its own solar system. This way, each franchise exists on its own while stil making crossovers possible.

@TwoTheNines As far as i know, stages for multiplayer matches are selected randomly. And there seem to be quite a lot of them.For singleplayer, the free version offers you 2 out of 7 missions, each with 3 variants.

...it's. A. Freaking. CAMEO. Does no one else remember the days when cameos were small inclusions added to give the players a smile?
People these days take all the small things way too seriously. If there was anything similar, I would say that Sub Wars probably just uses the same engine as Star Fox 64 3D.

I highly doubt this is a universe melding thing going on here, just some tongue in cheek cameoing. Peppy makes a fine salesman, though let him be in his own game again soon, Ninty.

A fun little game besides the fact that you can't find your friends to do any online with them. If they had implemented that, I'd jump into the full version straight away. As it stands though, I'm going to need to think about it.
